Textbooks and movies are still hiding the genocide
of Native American Indian cultures, which began
five centuries ago. There were many friendly and
close relationships between early immigrant
settlers and native peoples, but these were not
the main current in their relations. U. S. history
is destroyed by acts of genocide against native
people, made worse by the deadly impact of new
diseases spread by contact between new settlers
and native Americans. Many aggressive attempts

towards the new European colonists were in peace
and acceptance. Unfortunately the colonists dreams
conflicted with the views of the Native Americans.

Indians. All of these attempts...

Americans by Christopher Columbus, who mistakenly
believed that the mainland and islands of America
were part of the Indies, in Asia. Native Americans

these people so highly prize was taken from them
and has not yet been fully regained. Through
decrease of population, enforced migration, and
racism, European settlers were allowed to gain the

Between 1875 and 1925 the friendly relations with
Indians prevented the loss of many American lives.
By 1890 Americans had migrated all the way to the
Pacific Ocean. The frontier era had ended. Well
before that date, however, it had become clear to
many that a new policy had to be adopted toward
Native Americans, whose dwindling numbers seemed
to threaten extinction. Congress began moving in
this direction in 1871, when it unilaterally
decided to abandon the treaty process and

The Iroquois Nation was a nation of five tribes,
which was comprised of Mohawks, Senecas, Oneidas,
Cayugas, and Onondagas. These tribes were
originally separated, but later brought together
by two Indians named Hiawatha and Deganawidah.
Hiawatha seemed to be the spokesman while
Deganawidah took on the role as a philosopher.
These two men formed a nation where some of the
ideas are still intact today. One aspect that made
them so strong was the way in which they governed
themselves. Women in thei...
